April 27, 2014: Everything Changes – Landon Lynch

The Gate called Beautiful separated the court of the Gentiles from the court of the Jews in the temple. It was massive – so large in fact that it took twenty men to close it. It was a busy place, with people walking in and out all day long, and there in the midst of the busyness sat a man who was lame. One who was cut off from the very people who walked in and out of the gate everyday. It was this man that Peter healed. 

His response? Jumping, dancing and praising God … only because he could walk? No, because he “went into the temple courts.” He was given a new life. He could join with his people and be one of them. Because this is what healing does. It is not just about the physical healing. It is a holistic reality.
